Questions you may be asking:

Counseling is a time and place for you to work through the struggles you
are experiencing in your life with someone who listens, cares, and can
offer you helpful information. Counselors help you see what your choices
are, what your strengths are, what you can do to face your challenges,
and what you can change in your life. I will work with you where you are
to help you get to where you want to be. Counseling is a process of
facilitating your growth and healing your wounds, so that you can live a
healthy and enjoyable life.

How can counseling help me?

Most people experience times in their life that are stormy for one reason
or another. Counseling is an opportunity for you to have someone help
you find your way through the storm to the solid ground. Depression,
anxiety, grieving, relationship conflicts, addictions, traumatic
experiences, and identity questions are actually common challenges that
many people face at some point, and they can be worked through in order
to find a stronger self.

What is Darci like?

I'm a counselor with a love for helping people better understand who they
are and how they can be healthy in relationships. I want to provide
people with a space to laugh, to cry, to be heard, to explore themselves
and their lives, and to be real and accepted for who they are.

My Bachelor of Arts is in Religion and Philosophy from Shorter College
and my Master of Arts is in Counseling from Colorado Christian
University. I am a member of the American Counseling Association and the
Colorado Counseling Association.

I'm a mom, a daughter, a friend, an ex-wife, a businesswoman, an
artist, a writer, an acting teacher, and a Christian.

While I do have a Christian background, I'm respectful of wherever
people are in their spiritual journeys.

I created Haven Lighthouse Counseling because I am inspired by
lighthouses to provide both a haven from the storms and a dependable
source of light and guidance through the storms that we all face in life.

I welcome phone calls inquiring about who I am and what I do, and will be
happy to discuss with you what your needs are in your life right now.

What is a counseling session like?

As a counselor, my goal is to make counseling a valuable discussion in a
comfortable setting where you can be accepted as you are without facing
judgment. We will talk about your life and experiences and pursue
self-awareness and understanding of what you have been through. You will
gain knowledge of how you can grow and become stronger because of and
through your unique journey.

I offer help working through:

Depression & Anxiety

Grief & Loss

Family & Marriage relationships

Parenting concerns

Life transitions & Recovery

Spiritual growth

Other life struggles

What is your training?

I have a Master of Arts in Counseling from Colorado Christian University
and a Bachelor of Arts in Religion and Philosophy from Shorter College.

Is it Christian-based counseling?

I am a Christian and a mental health counselor. I have a Christian
perspective. Your faith can be integrated into your counseling as much
or as little as you prefer. Everyone is on a spiritual journey and
wherever you are on your journey is respected.

How much does counseling cost?

After the first free session, I offer a sliding scale fee that ranges
from $75–$115 and is based on your monthly income.

Do you take insurance?

I am happy to provide you with session receipts with appropriate
coding if you wish to pursue reimbursement through your insurance.
Insurance companies do vary greatly in what they cover.

It's important to know that managed care commonly places
restrictions on therapy and requires a diagnosis that becomes part of
your permanent medical record. This can impact your insurance
coverage as well as label you with a diagnosis which may not be
beneficial to you and does become a "pre-existing condition."

I will be happy to discuss your options and your coverage further
with you, so you can find what's in your best interest.

What if I need to cancel my counseling session?

There is no charge for any session cancelled at least 24 hours prior to
the scheduled appointment time.

Is what I share with you confidential?

By law, everything we discuss in counseling is confidential because of
the counselor/client relationship. There are rare exceptions for legal
issues, self-harm issues and minor-child issues. We can discuss these in
detail.
